Anyone using European Installation Bus ? I've filled my house with it... bus or star topology, multiple vendors (Berker, Merten, Gira), open protocol so we have Linux software that can sniff the bus and put signals on the bus... it's quite nice:-) .
This is exactly the kind of thing the EU Parliament wants the prohibit, via it's amendments to the doming patent EU unification law. The Parliament has clearly excluded the use of patents that hinder software interoperability. Those of you that want to help us in the battle to sustain those amendments (there is a _lot_ of resistance from the big guys) please join at swpat.ffii.org or softwarepatenten.be in Belgium. Patents are indeed more dangerous than SCO.

The news is that Holland is now maybe the first country EVER to change it's vote in this procedure.

Gee like we don't already have our hands full trying to hold off the US patent system.
